The Persian Gulf Briefing The Persian Gulf had been the centre of attraction to both the USA and Great Britain because of its oil-rich deposits. Consequently, the U.S. authorities had high levels of sensitivity to the area. Running down to 1990 the USA has had a very strong security to the territory. This was also in line with the long term policy that had been set forth by the U.S. federal government (Loaa, 2017). USA had at some point used military force to safeguard the area to restrain the Iraqi’s inversion to Kuwait. Besides the Federal government also used economic sanctions against Iraq as a way of restricting the invasion that the Iraq government wanted to express in the area. However, despite the attempts by the USA to quell the feuds in the region, there is little, if any, persuasive evidence to indicate that Iraq will back off from its pursuit of war and acquisition of gold-rich territories of Kuwait and other nations in the Middle East. Besides, prolonging the present prevailing situation may turn out to be detrimental to…
Oak Creek Massacre Events of the terrorist attack during 9/11 appear to have fuelled racism, specifically among the minorities in the United States. Subsequently, the U.S. government implemented a series of response mechanisms designed to counter and curb future terrorism activities. While not explicitly mentioned in their official documents, such policies unfairly targeted Arabs, South Asians, and Muslims in America. Consequently, the policies destroyed the trust of the cooperative communities in the country. It suddenly became permissible for law enforcement authorities to mistreat religious groups and racial minorities unfairly. The history of radicalization in America began with the rise of white supremacist groups. A history of racially-entitled groups of the Klu Klax Klan and the Nazis indicates racial intolerance is a grave problem in America. While the racial prejudice in America explains the violet trends in several groups of people in the country, it does not justify the killings and specific targeting of minority religious groups. Oak Creek Massacre The Oak Creek Massacre is an example of mass killings that were motivated by racial hatred. The tragedy occurred at the…
Achieving Self-love The most critical relationship anyone will ever have in their life is that with oneself. Many time people focus on relationships they have with friends and families, not putting into account their selves. One needs to have a good and healthy relationship with themselves. That is why I make it a priority to take care of and love myself (Musholt, 2015). People often have unhealthy behavioural patterns that they acquire from their parents and the environment. These patterns of behaviour have an impact on a person’s perspective of self. Achieving a good relationship with oneself is possible through investing in self-love. Self-love may be challenging for most people but necessary. There are three different ways in which a person can achieve this. Forgiveness is one way in which people can make an excellent personal relationship with themselves. It is common for people to do things they are not proud of, and when this happens, they need to accept their flaws, forgive themselves and accept they are not perfect. In my experience, another essential way to show self-love is by…
Implications of Large Bodies on Healthcare Access Weight stigma, also known as weight bias, is the negative attitudes, stereotypes, or discrimination based on people with big body sizes. These have become common, especially during this time when social media has led to many people, especially women and girls, becoming self-conscious about their bodies and how they look. Being overweight or obese is often associated with being lazy, lacking willpower, low intelligence, and are considered unattractive. Such attitudes have led to the development of stigma against big-bodied individuals. Weight stigma is not only about overt insults, but also embedded in all areas of culture, including workplaces, and healthcare. It is invisible and generally examined bias with the implicit message that thin is better and healthier. Even in the most conscientious settings, when jokes on race or gender were unacceptable and would not be tolerated, making disparaging remarks or comments about a person’s weight or shape is somehow acceptable. Big-bodies individuals are bullied teased, and often excluded, with many people having a belief that such individuals deserve to be treated like that…
Impacts of Science and Technology on the Society Every year, significant technological advances are made. This has led to changes in different industries. We now have ‘digital manufacturing,’ new and efficient processing in the industries. The results are high-quality products produced at low cost, and there’s more potential. For instance, the radiometric measurement technology has provided a better and cost-effective method to conduct level measurement. The technique uses gamma rays to measure the amount of solids or liquids in a vessel or silo during processing. Visit this site to learn more. These changes impact the society in different ways. For example, an estimated 9% of jobs in the OECD counties are set to be automated within 20 years, and another 25% face significant changes. These and other changes will continue happening as more innovations emerge. Machine Learning Replacing Humans in Industries Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology that uses cloud computing, big data, and machine learning, is outdoing humans in areas such as cognitive functions. More AI star- ups are growing in number as the funding also increases.. The internet is also…

Impact of Online Shopping in Major cities Online shopping is a booming industry, and the public loves it. The convenience of online shopping takes away, battling traffic congestion and air pollution. It has also made it very possible for the disabled and older people to make purchases they are otherwise unable to make on physical stores. Like with any other growth, the internet economy has both a positive and negative effect. Thousands of jobs have been created for delivery people and truck drivers. Real estate companies are making a kill with the leasing of warehouses to shopping companies. Truck traffic congestion and roadway safety are some of the significant downsides, with cities like New York handling more than 1.5 million package deliveries. Ms. Kaufman of New York University observes that “we’ve entered an entirely new way of buying goods and services, but our infrastructure is only adapting incrementally.” The traffic strain is not one that will go away soon, and a lot is required to be done to keep pace with the ever-growing online economy.
Impact of School Resource Officers on School Violence Author Introduction Education is an essential part of the human development system in the contemporary world. It not only allows the learners to acquire new skills and competencies that make them more resourceful but also allows the learners to develop their reasoning skills as well as decision-making techniques. Educational facilities are critical pillars in supporting the childhood development of the learners. Learners spend more than half of their daily activities in schools where they receive academic nourishment, socialization with their colleagues as well as adults and learn new skills as well. Scholars opine that education is a tool for shaping the character of individuals through proper guidance and counselling, acquisition of new skills and enhancing creativity and innovativeness among the learners. School seeks to help better society by equipping the members of every community with problem-solving skills that work to make the world a better place. Since educational institutions admit learners from divergent families with different values and beliefs as the diversity in their societal norms and social principles, there is a…
Immigration is Essential for American Economic Development Immigration is Essential for American Economic Development Immigration is one of the critical issues that frequently rock the United States political and economic arena. According to Abramitzky & Boustan (2017), the United States is a haven to the most significant number of immigrants in the world, yet they fail to integrate into the American civilization properly. Immigrants face the quagmire of negative perception from a large quantity of American society. However, they make several contributions to the US, which makes them a significant part of the progress of the American economy. This paper seeks to prove that immigrants are essential for American economic development. Immigrants are a source of labour to the American market. A study by Borjas (2019) showed that in 2016, 16.6% of workers in the United States were foreigners. Millions of workers across the United States work in multiple positions in large firms, homes, and small businesses. The widespread view among American citizens is that immigrants ‘steal’ their jobs from them, but the fact is that industries take advantage of…
“ALL OUR DREAMS CAN COME TRUE, IF WE HAVE THE COURAGE TO PERSUE THEM” Since the dawn of mankind, knowledge, and application of business techniques, be it barter, trade, or plain retail, has been a key factor for a civilization to prosper or crumble in the shadow of someone else. It was the truth of the world then, and it still is. This thought has always baffled me ever since I was a child. What fascinated me since the very beginning was the idea of how money is generated, retained, reused, and multiplied. At least that’s what I have seen my father doing since the time my memory can run back to. “ALL OUR DREAMS CAN COME TRUE, IF WE HAVE THE COURAGE TO PERSUE THEM” These famous words by the fantasy legend Walt Disney have inspired me throughout my life to work and strive hard to fulfill my aspirations. The dream to become a successful entrepreneur has sunk its roots in my persona since the very start. Early off as a teenager, I have been going through…
